Thanks. I am not "healing" in the way that one would hope. Although I am insured, the co-payments have wiped me out. The lingering pain and other discomforts serve as a reminder that I should have been more careful in my daily chores. As usual, my hindsight is "20/20!"

Neurosurgery to repair a broken neck sustained in a fall at 76-years of age, has slowed me down.

A capitalist who "gives" a product or service is not in business for long.

Capitalism tends to make "luxuries," more affordable.

Interesting comments. The new Pope is, first and foremost, a human. In his life he has done good and not so good things. I am sure he will do his best. His acts will gladden some and enrage others. I have said a silent, Protestant, prayer for him. I hope he appreciates the humor I intended in my post. Lucky me. I moved a poet to immortalize me.
